I never said that. I said they're few and far between, and none of them are gory or particularly graphic.
none of that was grisly.
"But it's just one line"You find one ant in your house--there's a whole colony nearby.Also, those are the two most poorly-written lines of text I have ever read.
"Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up she was shitting brown water. The more she drank the more she shat but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew".

It's just not grisly or particularly graphic. I'm not sure what you want me to say. Is 'cunt' the offending word? Because you say it all the time.
Is it the sopping wet part? That's just feminine arousal.
That bothers you, and nothing I can say will change that.
Reminder that The Accursed Kings did the game of thrones better than ASOIAF fourty years earlier.
Well if feminine arousal and vaginas cause you intense horror and distress, I can't tell you otherwise.ASoIaF doesn't pull punches, but it's sure as shit not the fuckfest you seem to think it is. You haven't even read a single one of the books, and you're calling it pornography based on the existence of the rare sex scene. It's just silly.

It's all just derivative retellings of Shakespeare with increasingly boundary-pushing themes. All crap.
UhThe Accursed Kings is based on the French monarchy leading up to the Hundred Years War. Fiction based on nonfiction.
Shakespeare pretty much told every story worth telling before everyone.

Everything's the same if you generalize enough. It's not even a fair example in the first place. That's like dismissing Star Wars, not for its simple nature, but because The Hero With a Thousand Faces did it first.

Highlighted for convenience, I addressed that.

Which is why I never stated how original or not ASOIAF is. GRRM cited it as an inspiration for his books, and he self-admittedly thinks that TAK is far and away superior.I was just pointing out a better alternative to ASOIAF.

Besides it lacking GRRM's love of shitting and food? More intriguing factions that play off of each other more often than shooting off one liners within their ranks.In George's words, "believe me, the Starks and the Lannisters have nothing on the Capets and Plantagenets."
Winds of Winter still not finished, still a while off
